Exploring Apache Kafka

Working in a hands-on environment, you will explore message composition with pure Kafka API and Kafka Streams as well as the transformation of messages in different formats, such as text, binary, XML, JSON, and AVRO. Next, you will learn how to expose the schemas contained in Kafka with the Schema Registry. You will then learn how to work with all relevant connectors with Kafka Connect.
